The Council of Arab Justice Ministers condemned all forms of terrorism at the conclusion of their meeting in Beirut today. The ministers stressed the need for dealing with terrorism's roots and causes and not mixing between terrorism and Islam which calls for tolerance and renunciation of extremism and terrorism. They also called for distinguishing between terrorism and the legitimate right of peoples in resisting occupation and aggression taking into consideration that the killing of innocent civilians is neither condoned by divine religions nor by international conventions. The Saudi delegation to the meeting was led by Minister of Justice Dr. Abdullah bin Mohammad bin Ibrahim Al Alsheikh.
